critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420610

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. In
 versions prior to 5.3.2 or 4.10.19, keywords that are specified in the Parse Server option
 `requestKeywordDenylist` can be injected via Cloud Code Webhooks or Triggers. This will result in the
 keyword being saved to the database, bypassing the `requestKeywordDenylist` option. This issue is fixed in
 versions 4.10.19, and 5.3.2. If upgrade is not possible, the following Workarounds may be applied:
 Configure your firewall to only allow trusted servers to make request to the Parse Server Cloud Code
 Webhooks API, or block the API completely if you are not using the feature. (CVE-2022-41878)
